Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis

       The main focus here is on age-related osteoporosis, which is mainly caused by increased bone resorption following a decrease in the production of sex hormones. The most serious complication of osteoporosis is fracture. Therefore, we must pay attention to it. Patients with osteoporosis often show low back pain, but this does not mean that it is only osteoporosis of the bones in the low back; osteoporosis is systemic.  Patients with osteoporosis often have calf cramps, which is a manifestation of calcium deficiency. Calcium is like the cement in real life, sand alone does not work, there must be cement to make the house it built stronger. So the bones of the human body are not strong after the lack of calcium, easy to break. Usually people with osteoporosis should go out for a walk often, because the sun will promote the absorption of calcium, while the stress effect after the activity will promote the increase of osteoblasts, so osteoporosis is not to stay at home every day and worry about fractures, which is a wrong concept.  The treatment is to take calcium tablets, together with the use of calcitonin, which acts to inhibit bone resorption and at the same time can relieve bone pain caused by osteoporosis. In Chinese medicine, the treatment is mainly from the liver and kidney, because the kidney is the main bone and the liver is the main tendon.
